Sir Texas Sir

Same with us, we didn't want to go with the zerg of global players. US needs numbers so any US clans that stay is good for the server. Most of the big GB clans are going France so that means it's going to turn out to be like another GB. For the pirates it's looking like most of us that aren't staying pirates are going Russia cause they seem to have more our style of play. We will see it's not like I don't have a billion forge papers as I have pretty much never used any of them. I wouldn't add France even though we where planing to go France as we have worked with many of the French players in the past on both EU and GLOBAL, but with most of the Global GB clans going France we though it was best to go something else.

Yah I rolled my Dane on Global when they came out with the new nations. Just wanted something to play around with since Danes was pretty dead at the moment. Hell even WaterMT came over to pirates to play with use....we have been trying for ages to get CN/CCCP to go pirates. Speaking of which not sure what they are going to do, I know with there Chinese firewalls and such they said they prob won't keep playing if there was a merger cause of ping issues.

Surprise you haven’t gone Prussian lol

Actually when I look at the map I don't see Russia as scattered. I see some one that fights much like we did as BLACK. We didn't take every port we can get our grubby hands on expect back when we actually zerg the map. Instead cause of our lower numbers against US/GB we picked our targets for places that would do the most damage or put us in the most strategic positions on the map. Heard a few heading that way, hope you get more than just a hand full. I"m glad it seems some of us are spread out to other nations than just the normal ones we fought in before. I think some of these nations that aren't even trying to recruit is going to be complain when they don't have fleets to fight in certain time zones and than bitching about it. Well maybe you shouldn't let folks that don't play or just flat out rude rep for you.....eyes one nation that I will not no matter what join after a comment the other day and I think pretty much every one that seen it has agreed the same. It will be one of the first ones to complain when they no longer end the top dog cause of restricted times they have numbers in. I'm really surprise there hasn't been more and more wheeling and dealing to get folks to one nation or another lol

Has some one never been in a port battle....we had some pretty heavy gun smoke where you couldn't see crap pretty much. So kinda like the first picture. I notice more in the shallows when every one is brawling in a big hot mess of a ball lol

Kinda wish we had a rule where you had to use your In game name of your account. I still have no clue who the George Washington guy is, but he is some one in US nation on GLOBAL.

I kinda was sad when I heard about Prussia being mainly PvE now....it would of been my first option when I heard about the merger.

Really that is funny cause I find repairs all the time in shop not sold by players. Maybe with the bigger population....JUST MAYBE FOLKS BUY THEM.

Didn't they put them in regional capitals or something, but the point is why do you go places and not bring them? Why not buy them off the poor noob that is trying to make a buck? Repairs are a great starting produciton some one can make money off. Those would make great tutorial missions to introduce a new player to crafting. Setting up out post and buildings to craft hull repairs.

Kinda like how I have two ships with bovinwinds and elite recurs on. Bug allowed me to stack them before they got hotfixed.

You mean 200 CM right? Though I have to agree with you guys if you get the right captian that knows it weakness and uses that it's not hard to beat them. While not a small ship like ya'll I solo one in my board fit Aggy (he turned out board fit too). Had no issues with him even with the more crew/marines (though I had barricades and he didn't). And any one that knows me I suck at most 1 vs 1 unless it's in shallow water ships lol

I'm kicking myself now cause I just gave away a bunch of L'Oceans I captured since wipe in Port Battles cause they weren't builds I would us. Now I wish I keep them for the mods on them and to redeem them the way I would us them...lol That is my luck like my curse of RNG that never drops anything other than Boatswain books when I loot them.

Vieques apparently for a short time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieques,_Puerto_Rico The Spanish did not, however, permanently colonise Vieques at this time, and for the next three hundred years it remained a lawless outpost, frequented by pirates and outlaws. As European powers fought for control in the region, a series of attempts by the French, English and Danish to colonise the island in the 17th and 18th centuries were repulsed by the Spanish. The island also received considerable attention as a possible colony from Scotland, and after numerous attempts to buy the island proved unsuccessful, the Scottish fleet, en route to Darien in 1698, made landfall and took possession of the island in the name of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and The Indies. Scottish sovereignty of the island proved short-lived however, as a Danish ship arrived shortly afterwards and claimed the island. From 1689-1693, the island was controlled by Brandenburg-Prussia as the "Isle of Crabs" (German: Krabbeninsel). So yah 1689-1693 I think it was only used as a spot to resupply trade ships for that short time or something. I couldn't find much more info on it. Hell I don't even know why I found that little mention. Than again I google some pretty odd stuff when I get bored lol

The Prussians actually had a port though. For 4 years and like 100 years before this time last me lol

We had all ready expected prob Monday or the week after, lets hope for Monday to get this over with. I mean I don't mind continue stocking up on resources on GLOBAL cause it's easy to get them but I just want the move over with lol

He's a big time classical Opera singer over there, but as you see he's gone through a very odd stage in his music too...lol

Dysfunctional and prob not happy, but a family again lol

Thanks for the update, but more important do we have any ETA on this? So we know to be ready on monday or keep playing until the end of the month. I think every one has switch to merge mode and getting ready but would suck we find out this isn't planed for the first of the year. Would the mats to set up Shipyards and Workshops be redeem or just the cost to get those mats? I Currently have 2 of each on my crafter so that is a lot of mats and I need to know if I need to stock up on more stone blocks and iron fittings and such for doing prob two more sets of Level 3 and Workshops. Yep many of us are doing just that getting chars in order and setting up shop. Man some of these sails is sucking....good thing for AFK sail and having time...lol Just think of three clan warehouses and your own personnel warehouses. It's going to be insane how much I'm going to have redeemable's for. Glad we plan to split most stuff up between officers.

Funny thing is I heard Cordova would prob have a heart attack if we went French (think that is where they are going)....I have tons of forge papers almost want to do it just to give him one....lol

Yep agree we need a bit more details and more clear answers. If we can stack the XP it means some folks will level up or even max out there chars. I know my crafter has gained two rank since the wipe so this would let me prob max it's rank out even though it's level 50 crafter. Not that it needs rank as it's just used and abused to make ships and cannons lol

While I haven't heard much about the US nation I have a guess about one clan's plans. Though I have head GB is pretty much splitting and going GB and France. I actually been hearing a lot more folks going France for my taste so I started to shop other places for where I will be going and or other clan mates too. As for pirates. Well most of us believe there is no point in playing pirates until there is mechanics for pirates and they aren't just another bastard nation. So we might as well seek a nation that can use a good mix of US/SEA/AUS players in there ranks. I'm looking at nations that allow me to fight other US/SEA players while I can prob make weekend battles in EU prime time too. And yes some die hard Pirates from Global plan to stay pirate too, so lets not just count them out. Not to mention I plan to keep my EU Pirate that I have played off and on as Pirate no matter what the other nation I pick to put my chars into. He's my break away from norm char when I don't want to do things with my clan or others.

If your happy with the name of the char on EU you don't have to delete it. If you want to change nations than use forge papers. The delete option is only for those that want to change the name of there chars. Though I do agree we need a bit more clear info. Along with an ETA of when this is going to take place.

And why do you have to attack US ports? You don't want them to attack your ports and set off time ports than maybe don't attack there ports. There is a majority of EU clans right on this server so shouldn't the EU's stick to fighting other EU clans if they don't want other time zone battles to happen? I mean I plan to only worry about battles with other US and AUS/SEA clans/players myself. I might get involved in some screening during EU main prime time on the weekends, but other than that I don't plan to spend my mid day messing with your prime time. If you don't want flips in other time zones than you pay the fee, if your to broke to pay the fee or don't want to grind than maybe you shouldn't own the port. Let some other clan own it that is willing to pay the fee and fight for it. Yah @admin we really need an ETA on this. Even if it's something like a couple weeks from now or will it be next week? A lot of folks want to just drop every thing and get it over with. Though if we have to wait weeks or until the first of the year your going to loose and piss off more players. Lets just get this done and over with.

That why when I mention about port wipes and some Russian nation guy said they have warehouse in Kidd's area why would they have to loos that I so wanted to respond back, "Well shouldn't pick a nation that doesn't have a capital and maybe put your warehouse in a freeport." They honestly need some privateer mechanics so a clan that might be say Polish or some other nation can privateer for another nation/clan

Yah and I'm kinda burned out playing the nation every one on the server hates so I think other than leaving one alt pirate for days when I just want to do solo hunting or not log in my main (whole reason I have one active char on EU that none of my clan mates know of) I'm not thinking of staying pirates. I'm also sure you know of other reasons why I refuse to return back to US lol Oh and I was going to comment the other day about how we keep seeing the same view on topics, but than that might get us back to bickering at each other again lol
